TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers meet the media today ahead of Game 1 of the World Series at Rogers Centre on Friday night.
Both clubs will work out and face the cameras before the championship begins.
The matchup features two contrasting approaches — the big-spending Dodgers against a Blue Jays roster built on balance and development.
Toronto’s contact bats and steady defence will be tested by Los Angeles’s power hitters and deep rotation, led by left-hander Blake Snell in Game 1.
The Blue Jays have yet to name Friday's starter.
Toronto is seeking its first World Series title since 1993, while the Dodgers are chasing back-to-back championships in their fourth appearance in six seasons.
